Read full descriptionHide full description
Power is cheap in Kazakhstan, Iceland stays cool and the wind blows in Texas ā only the price does whatever it wants. Hash Imperium is a business simulation in the spirit of the strategy classics of the 80s and 90s, built around a mining farm for the fictional currency HashCoin. As a mining manager you buy sites at four locations from Texas to Kazakhstan, set up racks, negotiate power contracts and decide every round: sell your coins or hold them? Expand or save? And what do you do when a rival cuts your line? Whoever ends up on top is the crypto tycoon. YOUR FARM ⢠Four locations with their own power market, climate and rules: Iceland, Texas, Scandinavia, Kazakhstan ⢠Seven hardware generations, air, hydro and immersion cooling, risky overclocking ⢠Spot price or fixed-price contract ā heat waves, grid failures and storms keep every bill exciting ⢠Halvings cut the block reward in half: only those who upgrade in time stay in business MARKETS AND MONEY ⢠Candlestick chart with zoom, limit and stop orders, an OTC desk for fixed prices ⢠Bank loan or crypto loan against your coins ā and the dreaded margin call ⢠Auctions for sites and the hardware of whole rivals EMERGENCIES AND THE DARK SIDE ⢠Minigames: overclock chips, lay cooling pipes, fight fires, fend off cyber attacks and ransomware ⢠Security, audits and insurance protect you ā sabotage against others is possible, but the authorities are watching RIVALS AND GAMES ⢠AI rivals with a character of their own: Rational, HODLer, Industrial Giant and Black-Hat Miner, in three strengths ⢠Hot seat for up to four players on one iPhone or iPad ⢠Three game lengths, three victory modes, starting scenarios and seeds of your choice ⢠30 world events, from ETF approval to a crypto ban ATMOSPHERE ⢠90s pixel art, a control room full of life, a synthwave soundtrack ⢠Pixel-art cutscenes ā from the intro to victory ⢠News anchors and an operations manager with a voice ā in English and German ⢠Guided tutorial, tips the first time something happens and a glossary of every term FOR EVERYONE ⢠Colour scheme for red-green colour blindness, text size up to 130 %, motion can be turned off ⢠Plays fully offline ā only buying the full version needs the internet ⢠No ads, no data collection, no account Free to play: the short game in Iceland and Texas with up to two players. A one-time in-app purchase unlocks the full version with all locations, game lengths, AI archetypes and up to four players ā no subscription, no ads. Please note: Hash Imperium is a game. HashCoin is a made-up currency ā no real cryptocurrency is mined or traded, and your device does not compute anything for anyone.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gem at none against Hash Imperium's 1. Gem also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
